Abstract
Introduction: Opsismodysplasia (OPS) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by delayed bone maturation, distinctive skeletal deformities, and severe growth impairment. Mutations in the INPPL1 gene, particularly homozygous variants, are the primary genetic cause of this condition. While bisphosphonate therapy has shown efficacy in OPS cases with hypophosphatemic rickets, its role in cases without this complication remains unclear.
Case presentation: A 2-year-and-2-month-old girl with OPS was treated with intravenous pamidronate (0.5 mg/kg/3 months). Initial evaluations showed severe short stature and low bone mineral density (DEXA SDS: -3.16). After three courses of treatment, the patient achieved independent walking, and her DEXA SDS improved to -2.5 over 1 year.
Discussion: Pamidronate is effective in treating OPS even in the absence of hypophosphatemic rickets, showing potential as a therapeutic option for this rare condition.
期刊介绍:
''Molecular Syndromology'' publishes high-quality research articles, short reports and reviews on common and rare genetic syndromes, aiming to increase clinical understanding through molecular insights. Topics of particular interest are the molecular basis of genetic syndromes, genotype-phenotype correlation, natural history, strategies in disease management and novel therapeutic approaches based on molecular findings. Research on model systems is also welcome, especially when it is obviously relevant to human genetics. With high-quality reviews on current topics the journal aims to facilitate translation of research findings to a clinical setting while also stimulating further research on clinically relevant questions. The journal targets not only medical geneticists and basic biomedical researchers, but also clinicians dealing with genetic syndromes. With four Associate Editors from three continents and a broad international Editorial Board the journal welcomes submissions covering the latest research from around the world.
